Japanese girls names, yes? Can I double check pronunciation? Is it Air-ee and Mee-ka?
I think both are really pretty. I can't choose between them! They'd make a lovely sibset.
Um... no, I can't decide. Both lovely. Sorry, that's totally unhelpful Grin

Do you have a cultural connection to the names?

Ricecreespees · 19/08/2016 09:21

Hmm hard one they're both beautiful!! I agree they'd be great as siblings. If I had to choose I think I'd choose Airi just because it's a slightly nicer sound and prettier spelling. You have very good tasteWink X

RebelandaStunner · 19/08/2016 09:22

Mika is really lovely.
I wouldn't know how to pronounce the other and think you would be forever repeating it/spelling it out.

Lilacpink40 · 19/08/2016 09:23

I prefer Mee-ka. Both are pretty.

KylieJo · 19/08/2016 09:32

I too think Mika is more easily recognised by foreign audience.

Marcipex · 19/08/2016 10:20

Mika, very sweet name.

user1471501988 · 19/08/2016 10:22

Mika is very pretty.

Zermatt · 19/08/2016 11:22

Thanks :) yes we have a cultural connection, finding it very hard to pick between the two!

Hmm. Is it pronounced AIR-ee or I-ree?

YouSay · 19/08/2016 11:27

Mika - lovely name

BummyMummy77 · 19/08/2016 11:29

Like them both. Definitely heard Mika more.

allthecarbs · 19/08/2016 11:31

Mika because it's a lovely name and is easy to pronounce for English people. I'm assuming you live in the UK.

MistyPrivates · 19/08/2016 11:56

Mika is lovely and I feel like it would suit many different personalities Smile

Loyly · 19/08/2016 12:01

Mika

peppercold · 19/08/2016 12:02

Mika

Zermatt · 19/08/2016 12:58

And yes to Mee-Ka pronunciation and I-ree

Mika! Beautiful name.

GoldPlatedBacon · 19/08/2016 13:08

Just wait and see what suits your dc. No need to have it fixed in stone before then

DerelictMyBalls · 19/08/2016 15:13

Both lovely, IMO. For a boy or a girl. I suspect that Mika would be more universally pronounceable.

DerelictMyBalls · 19/08/2016 15:13

Sorry - that was supposed to be: For a boy or a girl ?
